I've made an excellent start to 2012 with the some stellar reads and an excellent start on some reading challenges.My local library has served me well, supplying half the books.
There were two books that I rated at 5.0 and they were so different that I am going to name them both as my pick of the month.

Bravo, Kerrie! Lots of good books here.
I've read some delightful ones this month, including Elly Griffiths' The House at Sea's End; Linwood Barclay's The Accident, the brilliant Inspector and Silence by Hakan Nesser, the confounding, but good 1222 by Anne Holt, and the wonderful Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood, among other less inspiring reads.
I'm ready to buy a one-way ticket to Melbourne to move into Corinna Chapman's bakery or to Norfolk to join Ruth Galloway in an archaelogical dig.
And what's better is that I have a stack of books by women from Oz.
I've read quite a few of these, and from your scores I thin our opinions are pretty close. I agree with you that The Brotherhood is excellent. (have not read your other top pick)
Thanks for hosting this Kerrie. I've just added me book of the month - and an Aussie writer at that!
